  • I’m going to repeat what @plyth said. “Don’t use the Zimbardo prison experiment”.
    Zimbardo was as manipulative as the psychologists from the Robbers Cave experiment,
    with the only difference being that the former was only done once, while in the latter,
    the subjects figured out that they were being manipulated and turned against the psychologists.

    Because of this, the conclusions Zimbardo drew himself are very different from when you conclude that
    Zimbardo was behind the whole ordeal pulling the strings.
    One only needed to stand up against one person, not a crowd.



  • . No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they’ve learned and die on that hill.

    . Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that’s the most obvious one. [edit] What people are observing, at least for the “stellar sized black holes”, are UV/X-ray/Gamma ray stars, much like there are red stars and blue stars. [/edit]

    . For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies “Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that “this means war” and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they’re so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
    The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they’re so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe.” And no, STD and Picard doesn’t do it any justice. Star Trek doesn’t tell why the Federation is or isn’t progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.





  • Alright, now that you mention it, the universe is ‘a big ball of yarn’. You can’t see the fabric, because we use the fabric to see. Planets and stars shrink and/or grow, all of them have solid surfaces, thunder isn’t always a local planetary phenomena, but often an exchange between two large bodies, usually between the host star and planet. ‘Neutron stars’ and ‘black holes’ are regular stars completely misinterpreted and dark matter and dark emergy are stop gaps in broken theories.



  • The importance here is that over time, people pair up and the ones left are fighting for the remaining chairs / relationships. The more people have paired up, the more likely the remainders of group A struggle even harder to find a chair/partner, hence the existence of male-gendered incel and ‘forever alone’ communities.

    There’s no overthinking it. It’s simple math and there’s no way around it other than somehow adding more women.





  • I never heard of this Principle, despite having applied this myself to male/female dating society (including infidelity).

    I always imagined it as a Pairing Musical Chairs Principle, where m and n are the amount of chairs and people in team A, and n and m in team B, where n > m.
    Thus team A mostly rushes for any chair doing little else, while team B either don’t bother playing the same game and instead decorate their respective chairs at team A or they fight for the taken chair that’s always greener than the free ones.


  • Well can Eastern Ukraine?

    Because as a “sovereign” nation, Ukraine is an amalgation nation of two bordering existing countries of which the partner organisation NATO’s sole existence in question is to be enemies with one of the two bordering countries and thus used deadly violence to suppress any dissent from its Eastern half.

    This is in stark contrast to the US full-scale invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and further invasions of Libya, Syria and Palestine which WERE sovereign nations, where no such dilemma took place.
    Bush’ full scale invasion of Iraq was based on lies.
    Bush’ full scale Afghanistan invasion was based on searching a fugitive.
    The full scale bombardment of Lybia was because the US did not like Lybia’s leader.
    Same with Syria.
    For Palestine, it’s Israel that wants to genocide the country.
